Does anybody know if there's a way to run an application with the LCD (display) turned off to conserve power? I've heard that the LCD drains a lot of power and the application I'm writing doesn't need any interaction from the screen and may be up and running for a long period of time. I know there are procedure alarms that can be set that will run library code without turning on the display (AlmSetProcAlarm) , but the documentation seems to imply that you can't run a full-on application as a callback to one of those alarms. Has anyone ever tried this? I would assume I have no globals available to me but I could easily allocate those on the heap and pass a pointer to them around to the various function in my app. Any restrictions on running an event loop within a ProcAlarm?
